Description
Former child actress, Danielle "Dani" Winter, left Hollywood to transform an old cinema into a dinner theater, seeing the project as her chance to take control of her future. The middle-of-nowhere location in Wisconsin is a perfect escape from backstabbing celebrity friends. The small town welcomes her help with open arms, but one man questions her plan.
After unsuccessful writing stints on both coasts, Paul Howell returns home to New Hope. He's shocked to discover that his sister has sold the family business to a beautiful woman. With the encouragement of his neighbors, he reluctantly agrees to write Dani's next musical.
Working together, they discover more similarities than differences and grow close. When Dani's former best friend and America's sweetheart, Kara Kensington arrives, their blossoming relationship is threatened in more ways than one.

Holidays, Inc. by Rachelle Paige Campbell is the 1st book in the Finding New Hope series, and my first book by this author. Danielle “Dani” Winter is a former child actress looking for a project away from Hollywood. Dani buys an old cinema in New Hope, Wisconsin and plans to turn it into a dinner theater. The town welcomes her help, because a lot of business are going out of business. There is only one man who doesn't trust her, did I say this was an enemy to lovers book? If you enjoy romances, give this book a try.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Being a failure isn't easy. Returning home is harder.
Paul returns home to New Hope, Wisconsin after his friend burns him at work. He is quite bitter and when he sees his dad's old movie theater turned into a dinner theater, he is not too pleasant with the new owner.
Dani's poured her heart and soul into her dinner theater idea. She wants to put on shows revolving around the holidays. This is after some heartbreak of her own with the hopes that the theater will validate her. Hiring Paul to help her has its problems but she needs him, and he needs her.
Opinion
This book is about validation. Both Paul and Dani need validation for their lives which they can only give each other.
While I enjoyed the story and would recommend to friends, it was a bit slow for me. This is definitely a slow build, innocent romance. The scenes are kept PG. Weeks pass between chapters so that a lot of time has passed over the whole book. Personally, I am used to more fast paced, know every detail of the day books.
I am hoping that this book is the beginning of a series. It definitely left room for a sequel with Paul's twin sister and his best friend. We were also left hanging with the new hire at the end of the book.
This book would be ideal for a winter read in front of an open fire. It is for those folks who love Hallmark movies as well.
Many thanks to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC of this book.
